Favorite front covers

I think this is a great example for the front cover of a movie magazine. I like how all the lettering in white turns into a sort of white mist to match the background image. The red is mirrored through out the front to match the colour of the main heading; Empire. As the front  cover is supposed to sell the magazine i feel this does it very well as it shows the main movie it will be covering, its displays all the other movies they Will look at. Also it highlights other areas through the sub headings like "Tarantino the truth about Grindhouse".
 
I feel this is my favourite movie front cover i have ever seen for the Empire franchise, and the best at advertising the film. The first layer is that of the Joker the main villain in the Dark Night Rises, this is an amazing picture standing alone as it shows his features, highlights the movie with the contrast of clothes in a prison cell and shows the twisted nature of the character. Then looking at the colour scheme which also matches up perfectly with the of the character with the green and purple highlighting that of a sort of clown. The lettering is also perfect, "Meet the joker" matcher the character. At the top the famous batman symbol is advertised, and also all the sub heading highlight what else is going to occur n the magazine.  
 
 

I also think this is another great example of a front cover. The main protagonist is that of the picture, which highlights the main cast of the movie, which is a star studied cast. The bottom also shows what else will entail in the magazine from previews to interviews. The colour scheme is very bright in order to contrast the movie which has a dark tone. However i feel that the should have been more sub headings in order to sell the magazine on a bigger scale.
